1955 Oldsmobile Super 88 in Saratoga Springs, New York

In 1955 the Olds Super 88 was the top of the line below the Olds 98 and a highly desirable car as a somewhat sedate classic. However, this is no ordinary restored Super 88, this car has been given a new lease on life with a modern and powerful "big block" 403 cu. in. (6.6 liter) V8, Edelbrock carbs and a new GM YH350 3-speed automatic transmission. This 4-door sedan will be a surprise to anyone thinking it is an outdated relic with poor performance!

It has been restored in an attractive blue and white two-tone style paint. The chrome is in excellent shape, which is important on the mid-50s GM cars that relied heavily on bright work to enhance the styling. The owner says is has never shown rust in the bodywork. The interior is redone in grey cloth.

With a new, more powerful engine this is an impressive refreshing of a classic from the mid-50s.

ESTIMATE: $10,000 - $18,000
